On the night of September 7, a total lunar eclipse, commonly called a Blood Moon, was visible across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. During the eclipse, the full moon took on a deep red hue as Earth’s shadow fully covered it.
The event began with a penumbral phase at 8:28 PM PST, followed by a partial eclipse at 9:27 PM PST. Totality lasted from 10:30 PM to 11:52 PM PST, peaking at 11:11 PM PST. Pakistan was among the regions where the eclipse was fully visible.
During the eclipse, Earth positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon. Sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere scattered shorter blue wavelengths while bending longer red wavelengths onto the lunar surface, giving the moon its characteristic red glow.
Astronomy departments, observatories, and amateur stargazers organized viewing sessions across Pakistan and other countries. Karachi University’s observatory was among the institutions that opened to the public to witness the rare celestial event.
Billions worldwide observed at least part of the eclipse. As the last total lunar eclipse of 2025, it drew attention from both scientists and the general public. Early photos and eyewitness accounts showed the moon glowing in shades ranging from copper to deep crimson as it moved through Earth’s shadow.
